    Hello:

    I’m trying to get a background image to show, but cannot get anything but a color. I’ve selected Page Width: Smaller Width 1200 on Basic Settings, and have selected a background image. The message under background image states “Background may only be visible on boxed layout.” I know what a boxed image is, but cannot find a way to tell Pure & Simple to be boxed. I’ve also installed jetpack custom css, but have not been able to add code there that will solve the problem.

    Hi there,

    The page width smaller width 1500 and smaller width 1200 is termed as box-layout. and if you want to show background image them you can use the Background-image customizer

    Thanks.

    Thanks for the prompt reply. If by background-image customizer you mean the Background Image field between Header Image and Navigation under Appearance>Customize, that is what I have done… the color (selected in Colours-> Main Content Background) appears instead of the image. Any thoughts?

    I’ve also tried entering hex codes for transparent colors into the Colours-> Main Content Background field (e.g., #00ffffff), but it only seems to accept RGB and not ARGB values.

    Just one more follow-up: I can see the image behind the boxed page (e.g., below the footer), but cannot see it through the main content page. My goal is to see the image behind the main content area. I have also tried inserting the following code using the CSS Stylesheet Editor, but neither the image nor color updates:

    #body {
	background-image: url(https://localhost:8888/HGP_offline/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/HGP-Logo.png);
	background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.4);
}

    I purchased the Pro version of Pure & Simple… I am having the same issues with that. FYI I will be using the child theme (rather than the CSS editor) to customize.
